After the Mexican national team played a game in Mexico City 2 weeks ago against Colombia it seems that some of the team turned up at a wild all night party - and two of those players have now been handed a 6 month ban from the team for their part in the festivities - Carlos Vela and Efrain Juarez.-But seeing as there are no games of importance going down in the next 6 months, then this suspension is merely a wrist slap.-Several other prominent players were fined but not suspended. Even more meaningless.-I am sure that Vela & Juarez's club teams were not please to hear about this - Arsenal and Celtic respectively.

ENGLAND

Chelsea were knocked out of the League Cup today. I guess now they will just have to settle for concentrating on the other 3 bigger competitions they are in.

...yeah, Bruce, and guys like you are willing to keep the pot on the stove.

You must be an Obama supporter because you like to blame somebody else for something you do.

If you don't want the pot to be stirred, then don't write a post about it.
